Intro

I got a ST7735 based lcd from ebay and decided to play with it a bit.

Setup

Arduino UNO

1.8″ TFT LCD from ebay

Some jumper cables

Code

All the guidelines for connecting the LCD to the Arduino can be found here: http://www.ladyada.net/products/18tftbreakout/, but there is one thing to note. In the tutorial there is a pin called “dc” (Data/Command) (thanks to sza2) (I am not sure what that stands for) , but on my LCD it’s named “RS” (register select). So, to make it work, just ignore the difference in naming.
